No, seriously: all gone, no more, buh-bye. About an hour ago there were a handful of three-day passes with shuttle parking attached. Now those are gone, too.

It's by far the festival's fastest sell-out ever. Other years that have hit an ever-fluctuating capacity (75,000 as of last year) haven't run out of tickets until at least a month or even a week of Day 1.

And now ticket-holders are already asking for four times face value on eBay. Makes me wonder if certain people (read: scalpers) simply scooped up passes right away, knowing they'd make a profit on 'em eventually.

My advice: wait it out if you missed out. Resale-market prices will eventually come down (hopefully, at least a bit), and with that many tens of thousands of credit-card buyers all purchasing at once, a good percentage are bound to not have their transactions approved (because they're over-limit, typically).

Often such tickets are tossed back into the pool. Remember: You've still got three months to figure out how to get a wristband. Where there's a will -- and some extra cash -- there's a way.
